The Military Readiness Enhancement Act
- Lifts the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban on open service by lesbian, gay, and bisexual Americans.
- Establishes a policy of non-discrimination, on the basis of sexual orientation, for the armed forces.
- Fairly enforces all military rules and regulations without regard to sexual orientation.
- Allows the more than 13,500 Americans discharged under the ban to rejoin the armed forces, if they wish to do so.
- Saves the government approximately $25 million tax dollars per year - the bost currently spent firing gay service members.
Urge your Member of Congress and your Senators to support the Military Readiness Enhancement Act!
When "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" falls, one of the last great obstacles to full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans will be gone. Our victory not only ensures progress in the armed forces, but also ensures progress in the nation. With your help, victory is inevitable.
